My name is Adrian i'm from Cluj- Romania and i ride a Suzuki V-Strom DL250.
I am not intended to be an influencer for anybody.
I admire a lot of famous motorcyclists and their motorcycles, but I am convinced that a true adventure does not require a big engine motorcycle :)
My only intention is to share with all of you, my modest adventures, to enjoy the ride and learn from our mistakes, and why not, to convince you to visit our region, because I guarantee it is worth it ! ;)
Best regards from Transylvania !

Motocicleta ati luat de nou?,si daca nu sunt indiscret de unde,si cit a costat?
Salutare! Am luat-o de noua de la dealerul Suzuki din Krems-Austria in anul 2019. 3500E
Motorul este cu doi cilindri in v sau in linie? Ultimul model de 250 aparut daca sunt informat bine este monocilindric.
@@oszernemmondommeg1173 Modelul pt Europa Suzuki V-Strom DL-250 are motor paralel twin. Cel monocilindru racit pe ulei e doar pt piata din Asia/India Suzuki V-Strom SX250. Nu as fi luat ala .
@@transylvanianrider Nici eu. Oare se mai gasedc acet tip?
@@oszernemmondommeg1173 Sigur gasesti. Am vazut model 2023 care e 99% identic dar poate e mai ok sa cauti unul SH la un pret mai bun... Sunt f fiabile si nu risti sa se strice. Important e sa il poti testa putin inainte sa vezi daca iti place ;) Bafta !
Beautiful and relaxing video. I discovered your channel thanks to your comment on Lolo Cochet's video. Hopefully I'll visit your nice country with my bike one day. ✌
Thank you very much ! Looking forward to that day, when you you will come to visit RO ;) You will not regret it ! Best regards !
All speedometers over read. This is on purpose to ensure they don't read under which would be contrary to construction and use regulations
15:55 veru nice place
15 :45 hehehh enjoy your meal
Thank you !
Your country has great vista,s would love to ride there one day 🏕
Hi Neil ! Let me know when you decide to came here ;) Best regards !
Romania, is a place in the uk where people don’t think about visiting .to be honest don’t even know how to get there lol,take care 👀

soong i will travel motorcycle with my daughter also .. shes now 4 years old . in spain requirered 7 years old to ride motorcycle 3 years more.. im waitng i have v strom also 250cc
Hola Kini ! Time is flying by... Soon you will ride with your daughter 👍 Take care, the responsibility is extreme 😉 Best regards from Romania !
I had to thrash the living daylights out of my 250 Inazuma just to make any decent progress. I have the f650gs these days
nice ride! :)
Thanks !🤘
Hey, Transfagarasan and Strategica. Nice rides, Adrian. Time out on two wheels with friends helps to maintain health and a good spirit. We have wet spells at the moment, a good time to test our rain gear. I used to have a Honda Silver Wing 600, a good and reliable scooter for long journeys. But I've never ridden it on longer unpaved roads ;-) Thumbs up for Christian on Strategica, Günter/Nürnberg
heard the 2024 model will be a single cylinder instead of two.... they said the single 250 engine is more powerful than the 2 engines model I hope they new model have less vibration at higher rpm
Hi PCLye ! Already the model for the Asian market has a single-cylinder engine. Unfortunately, I don't see how it could have less vibrations like a parallel twin. Anyway, for the moment I don't plan to change the motorcycle, I'm very happy with it ;) Best regards from Romania !
@@transylvanianrider I am considering stage of buying the new model or buying a secondhand twin engine model
@@PCLye The difference between Suzuki V-Strom DL250 ( for Europe, Australia, America) and SX250 (for Asia) is quite big. The DL250 is a liquid-cooled Parallel Twin and the SW250 is an oil-cooled single cylinder. The most important thing before you buy, is to test it first if you have the opportunity. I'm sure you'll have fun with either one 🤘
@@transylvanianrider the model SX is expected to be launch next month... I will decide after the local KZreadrs reviews and after personally testing ...
Have you thought about buying better suspension or smallere sprocket rear, to get rpm lower? Have you reached 30.000 km now?
Hi Kim ! I a well over 30.000 km ( i have to check exactly tomorrow). I changed the chain kit and because i didn't find the original rear sprocket i put a 36 tooth one. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pH6p18yDnciYmNo.html Regarding the suspension, i am ok with it. Maybe next year i will do a oil & simmering change for the fork.
How many tooth are new spocket front and rear? Original is i think 14/47. Are you satisfayed with liwer rpm which is at 80 kmh? 6 th gear
@@83guldhorn The front sprocket is original 14 and the back one is 46 ( you can see the brand and product code, in the video kzread.info/dash/bejne/pH6p18yDnciYmNo.html) it's not a major change, just a mental comfort :)
Which program for your fine videos? Gopro and which free program?
For editing i use Final Cut Pro X but any free video editor is just fine. Regarding the cameras, I have a love/hate relation wit Gopro Just a week ago, my Gopro 8 Black died :) Now i use mainly Gopro 7 Black & Gopro 10. Best regards from Romania !
Thanks for 20.000 and 10.000 km review. Last week, i buyed one with 15.000 km. I am happy with bike. . Cheers from DENMARK
Hi Kim ! I'm glad you like the Mini V-Strom :) Have fun & safe rides with it ! Best regards from Romania !
Enjoyed this, as a matter of interest what tyre pressures do you run on and off road?
Hi df3ty ! 2.4 on and 1.8 Bar, off road
@@transylvanianrider Thanks, your vids convinced me to take the plunge and buy a 250 Suzi.

Man, tu ai schimbat uleiul de la furca pana acum? Ce ulei e ok și ce cantitate? N-am găsit nimic procedura pentru asta pe net. Și am schimbat deja o pereche de opinci pentru că e furca muuuult prea moale.
Salutare ! Nu am schimbat nimic la furca pt ca nu am pierderi de ulei. Daca e prea moale verifica simeringurile sa nu pierzi ulei din cauza mizeriei/uzurii. Nu prea imi dau seama cum s-a uzat anvelopa fata din cauza furcii, insa ar ajuta daca mi-ai zice la cati km s-a uzat guma si ce brand era...
BMW drivers have the same reputation in all countries, Adrian. Glad you got your phone back. That loss kept your adrenaline flowing in quantities ;-) Günter/Nürnberg
Hi Günter ! Unfortunately, yes...80% BMW drivers = 🤬 On the other hand, some will say the same thing about motorcyclists.🤭 Good thing we are among the 20%😂🤘 Best regards from Cluj !

aw.. :(
What a cool place, I'm in NZ, Ive been to a big gold mine in Kalgoorlie, it's massive as well, great you've gone two up on your bike, what lovely villages, Ive got a mate from Transylvania, He's a lovely young bloke. Great Review 20 K review as well, thanks for that
Thanks Adam! I'm glad you like the video. Best regards from Romania and say hello to your friend from Transylvania !
I have the VStrom 250 in India (Indian version). I use it for office commute and weekend fun, roaming nearby the city.
Have fun & safe rides !
All those precious minerals make people greedy. Nature is patient. Thanks for taking us there, Adrian. Must look up Stone Wedding. Günter/Nürnberg
You are right Gunter ! Gold has always been a source of tension. Recently, Romania won a lawsuit with a Canadian company that wanted to exploit gold in the area using cyanides, which is not ok. The movie "Stone wedding" is very good, it's a pity that it is not translated. Luckily, it doesn't have many dialogues and you can understand the context. All the best wishes from Klausenburg !🤘
2:05 nice pic 👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks Luis !🤘

Boa tarde. Se tiver em grupo,, tem como conversar com garupa individualmente ?
Boa tarde Fabian ! Pode conversar com um grupo de até 6 pessoas simultaneamente. Não individualmente com cada um separadamente.
That is what it is all about 💛 I so much wanted to buy vstrom 250 but my gw250 was just not enough power. Now aboard another bmw650gs
Hi John ! There is no perfect motorcycle for everyone. More important than the top performance of the bike is to accept the disadvantages as well. The 650GS is a much more potent bike ;) A friend of mine has a 650GS Dakar, and i like it. Best regards & safe rides !
Hi Adrian, we're away in the caravan in Yeppoon currently. We always enjoy your videos, but this shorter one has me looking forward to getting home and back out on my own 250 V-Strom. Many thanks again for your videos, ride safe my friend 😎
Freedom! Yes, Adrian. Even if it means being barked at by dogs ;-) Enjoy the new season, Günter/Nürnberg
Thank you Gunter! Dog barking is mandatory :) Best regards !

Era sa iei vreo 2 trante doar din primele zeci de secunde. :))))) Eu sunt animal de asfalt, nu as putea niciodata sa intri pe und emergi tu voiniceste. :)))))) Ai schimbat placutele spate pana acum? Trebuie sa dau toba jos intai? Sau cum se ajunge usor la suruburile de la etrier? Imi pare o gimnastica cvasi-imposibila... Am schimbat opincile cu unele de sosea, am facut tot si imi da voblaj puternic la 60+kph cand iau mana din gaz si las ghidonul liber. Am zis initial ca e de la jante, apoi ca e de la discuri, apoi ca e de la lant/aliniere. Cand am rezolvat cu alinierea am vazut ca "freaca" discul spate pe placuta dreapta. Si cand sa echilibrez etrierul....teapa....ca nu ajung la surubul dinspre mijlocul caprei. Ai vreo schema de om patit? On a funny note, saptamana trecuta m-am intalnit cu un ceh cu acelasi model. Ne-am oprit ca babele alea la taifas in mijlocul DN1. Se pare ca si pe la ei sunt la fel de rare. Noi avem 7 bucati in Ro si ei ar avea vreo 4. Am reusit sa ajung la 130kph pe bord, nu stiu cat de real erau :))) Am facut proba cu parbrizul scos, cum m-ai sfatuit, si am observat muuuuuuult mai putine turbulente la viteza mica, pana in 90kph. Am ramas asa acum ca imi place mai mult sa ma ventilez desi merg si cu viziera ridicata si mai iau cate o gura de proteina progresistului cand trec pe unde sunt campuri sau flori. :)))
Hehehe. Ai observat bine. Odata cand ma alerga cainele, si a doua oara langa padure :) Ma bucur ca te multumeste solutia cu parbrizul scos. Musculitele sunt ok insa grija mare la albine ;) Legat de placute, indicat e sa dai jos toba. E f simplu. Ai doar doua suruburi, cel de la colier si unul la prinderea laterala. Sa ai grija cand o montezi inapoi sa pui garnitura de cauciuc, corect ca altfel iti induce vibratii si nu stii de unde :) De asemenea, etrierul are locul lui pe bratul spate. O singura data mi-a schimbat un "meserias" anvelopa spate si mi-a montat etrierul peste canalul de ghidaj. A trebui sa dau jos roata din nou. Pe de alta parte, daca placutele spate nu sunt uzate, poti regla pozitia etrierului astfel incat sa nu iti frece in disc. Ma bucur ca nu suntem singurii "ciudati" desi daca stau sa ma gandesc, de fiecare data cand ma opreste cineva, primesc doar complimente :))) Asfalt uscat !
Thank you for sharing your adventures. Ride safe always!
Thank you ! Best regards from Romania !
Hey, aren't you supposed to use a 1litre big adventure bike that costs 15k to ride like that? This puny 250cc cannot do such off road stuff - every youtube reviewer will tell you that.
That's right, Wiadroman . Unfortunately, today's generations rely too much on the recommendations of others instead of discovering what they need for themselves. Manufacturers of expensive motorcycles will always try to convince you that you need all possible equipment to enjoy freedom. Fortunately, things are much simpler ;) Best regards !
That's what I love about riding in Transsylvania, Adrian: "empty" spaces. That sense of wonder: Where does this path lead to? Have a wonderful new season, Günter/Nürnberg
Thank you Gunter !🤘
Nice video. I like a bit off road, but mud isn't for me.
Thank you Jairan ! I don't particularly like it either, but sometimes you have to face it 😂 Have fun & safe rides !
I believe you, when you say you don't like mud. I think you love it... Always looking forward to your videos! 3 weeks from now, in Denmark, I'll start enjoying my short sunset trips, making life worth living...
Thank you Roald ! I really don't like mud, but sometimes i had to face it 😂 I imagine how great is your desire 😬 Here in Romania, yesterday we had 27 Celsius 😍Even if we know is not normal, we have to take advantage of the situation🏍 Have fun & safe rides !🤘
@@transylvanianrider Through the easter we had around 10 degrees, rain and wind. But, it'll improve. At some point...
Numai pe coclauri umbli.... :)))) Ai idee ceva site sau magazin unde as putea gasi un parbriz stock? Ca am ditamai paravanul pe post de parbriz si nu are flux de aer corect si face buffeting la greu. Am reusit sa il duc pe al meu la 130kph. Trebuie mult curaj si multa rabdare. :)))
Salutare ! Tin minte ca am vazut pe Aliexpress unul inalt. Mi-am salvat pe undeva link-ul. Pe de alta parte am mai vazut prin UK ca dezmembreaza unii insa nu stiu exact la ce pret poti gasi.

Beautiful trip. Does the rest of the family plan to ride a motorcycle too? Note: Better use a full face helmet or a modular one (closed during the ride) for a full coverage protection.
Thanks ! The girls are enjoying the rides only as pillions, no plans for driving licence (at least regarding my wife) :) The helmet was there first choice ( my wife is claustrophobic and tells me that she chokes in a full-face helmet:)) Best regards from Romania !
Which adjustable levers are them? Name and eventual link?
Hi! I bougt them from ebay. This is the seller: www.ebay.com/str/usmoto10yi
Versys 300 comes with tubed tyres, which is a meh for me and winning argument for VStrom 250.
It was a important reason for me, too ;) Still very happy with the Mini Strom 😍
Hey, I haven't seen any details about that on the internet, so I'm asking here... Is the 12V outlet on the v-strom 250 compatible with any usb plug for the car? 😀
Hi ! Yes, the V-Strom DL250 has a 12V outlet situated in the left side of the instrument cluster. I have a 12V - 2x USB Adapter for charging my phone and Gopro batteries simultaneously. Best regards

Hi Adrian, I've also changed the size of the rear sprocket. I went from the original 47 to 41, since I don't do any offroad work. I found the original setup to be a bit hysterical, doing almost 7.000 rpm at around 80 km/h. With the 41 sprocket, I'm doing 83 at 6.000 rpm. You can go as low as 39 teeth with original Suzuki parts, but I dont think it'll cope with a taller gearing than what I have now. As always, looking forward to your videos!
Hi Roald ! I'm glad you find out a better solution for your bike. Maybe, at the next chain kit, i'll do a small downgrade too. Best regards !
Aventura minunată, m-ai inspirat să vizitez România în iunie timp de două săptămâni. Vom vizita Brașov, Sibiu și poate Cluj Napoca. Puteți recomanda oricărei companii să închirieze o motocicletă. Vrei sa mergi pe traseul Transalpina si Tranfagarasan. Am un 250 Strom, așa că nu am nevoie de o bicicletă mare. Multumesc Michael
